Scheiblehner stays at Blau-Weiß Linz: missed Rapid and Grasshoppers!
Grashoppers Zurich showed interest in Blau-Weiß Linz coach Scheiblehner, who will stay until 2027 and continue his success story.
Scheiblehner stays at Blau-Weiß Linz: missed Rapid and Grasshoppers!
Gerhard Scheiblehner, the head coach of Blau-Weiß Linz, is currently in the public eye after talks took place with the Swiss club Grasshoppers Zurich. Despite the interest from Zurich, the negotiations remained inconclusive and Scheiblehner will continue to sit in the Blau-Weiß Linz coaching bench for the time being. This reports Laola1.
The Grasshoppers were looking for a new coach after Marco Schällibaum resigned from his position. Loud Kicker Scheiblehner was considered the “top candidate” for the position. There were initial contract negotiations between the two clubs, but they did not result in an agreement. In the meantime, SK Rapid Wien also thought of Scheiblehner and put him on the shortlist, but ultimately the decision was made in favor of Peter Stöger.
Successful time at Blau-Weiß Linz
The Blau-Weiß Linz coach usually brings with him a stable climate and success. Since taking office in 2021, Scheiblehner led the club to promotion to the Bundesliga in 2023 and confirmed their position in the top league with a pleasing relegation last season. His team is currently in sixth place in the table with 17 points after 13 match days. The last matchday brought an important 2-0 home win against runners-up Red Bull Salzburg, after having waited six games for a win in the league.
Scheiblehner recently extended his contract with Blau-Weiß Linz until 2027 and refuses to take the opportunity to leave the club as he only benefits from a release clause for Sturm Graz, who are also looking for a new coach.
Coach changes in football: A look at the GAK
Another interesting topic in the Austrian Bundesliga is the change of coach at GAK (Grazer AK). Ferdinand Feldhofer, who was recently released by Cercle Brugge in Belgium, makes a surprise return to the Bundesliga and takes over GAK, which is currently second to last in the table. This comes just a week after the sacking of Rene Poms, who had previously replaced Gernot Messner but failed to get the club out of the relegation places. Under Feldhofer, Brugge had achieved a mix of five wins, eight draws and four defeats in 17 games, with the exit from the Conference League against Polish team Jagiellonia Bialystok also being critical.
The developments surrounding Scheiblehner and the coaching changes underline the dynamic nature of football in German-speaking countries, both in terms of examining coaching changes and planning for the clubs' future. The next decisions made by those responsible will be of great importance in terms of both the strategic direction and the sporting results. You can also find more details here Today.
